He knows how to take the mis erable puppets that we call men and women, tile men and women of to-day, and make the n move to tho tune of majestic music, a? did men and woman whoa they marched bravely to death rather than deny their and tbeir Go 1. Ha knows how to make the hearts of an audience baat until the . would have done just such great deeds the mselves, and he knows how to inspire his j peopla g > that they utter words that are not soon forgotten. Of course, this is apropos of tbe groat French play that was brought <Ait this week—the loug-looited-for “Ther midor.” It may be mentioned quite casual ly that the average society woman who doesn’t read Frauch was in doubt as to whether “Th-rmidor” was the name of GROVER CLEVELAND'S BABY, or a special style of hat that one of the actresses was to wear. She didn’t realize that, with her m <rve’ou3 th ught of this master of plays, it had been arranged that the events should tra ispire not only when men’s blood was heated by revolutionary talk, but when tbe flaming sun if July was in the ascendant. It is a marvelous piay, this “Thermidor,” aud the story is such a pitiful one. Just imagine it! There is a young girl who is oetrothed before the awful days had come when Marie Antoinette bowed her bead under that cruel knife, and, in all the couf sion and excitement of war, her parents dead, her betrothed far off, sia knew not where, this child sought refuge with some nuns who were iu hiding. How aver, it was necessary fir her to go out into tee world and earn her living, not only be ca ise they needed bread, but so they might , ’ be suspected of being aristocrats and Italians.

Suddenly the bells begin to ring, the mob begins to scream, and above it all rings out as one voice, the mass being sung by the sisters, who have been captured and are led to execution. You hear the yells and howls of these infuriated ipon and women, and then you bear the sweet, claxr tone3 of the women, who, having lived well, oan die well, Fabienne cannot withstand this: she makes a rush for the window, throws back the shutters, displaying herself to the popu lace, and within a very few miuutes she is arrested. Later oo her lover tries to get her out of piison by inducing his friend to change the death warrants, and this is probably the stronges scene in the play; as paper after paper is read out it is dropped, became who will dare kill women wh > are widows with children, and vs ho can dare to send to face her God a women whose life has been all sin! Nobody can take her place, but the fertile brain of the actor has thought of an expedient. Even the guillotine respects the mother who is about to bear a babe, and lets her pass by unharmed. Tie actor writes a paper, and asks that Fabienne shall sign it she will not do it uutil she reads it, and when sae lias read it she tears it into pieces, declaring she will dis before she WILL PERMIT HER PURITY to be sullied. Then her lover, driven to des peration. calls out to the mob, as if be were jeering at her, that she is not telling the truth; that sho is denying her future mater nity became she does not wish to let tbe women around her make a laughing stock of her, but Fabienne, sianding quite alone, calls oa her God to witness her perfect purity, and her desire to die lo prove it. An awful silence follows this, eveu the rough mob bowing as she parses by them on her way to her death. Her lover rushes to res cue her and is shot b v the soldiers who sur round her, but he dies pressing to his lips a little religious souvenir that was dipped in her heart’s blood. Of all the plays that Sardou has written this is the strongest. The people are real, the surroundings arc absolutely true to the time, and every’ detail is carried out to per fection. One scene shows a room in the Tuilleries, where the beautiful aueen had danced and sung w hen lovely women and gallant men were about her. The walls still showed their elaborate decoration of roses and lilies and plump cheru s, while against them were built common pine suelves, upon which rested —what! Death warrants, my friend. The play is a story that dolights one'seye; that makes one remember people who suf fered and lived and died in those dreadful days, and yet it is one as perfectly and as clearly put together as those screens chat the Jai atiese artisans work over, and which oorsis' of small pieces of wood, each care fudv fitted in, until the perfect piece is ob tained, and not a nail has been used to mar tho surface. The play, besides teaching us all a bit of French history, shows us bow, when a woman has to choose between HER GOD ASP HER LOVE she seldom hesitates. It is a good play to see, weil constructed and full of that some thing that we call heart because there are so man v emotions that we huvo no name for. Forbes Robertson, who played the hero, does a marvelously good piece of work, and there 1* one thing that I wihh American aotor would imitate him in, that is, I with they would speak as uistmc ly as he does. You remember him, don’t you! He ! played here before with Mary An ders n, and is counted one of tho lead- I lng actors of London to-day. Ihe l*trt of I the nnpul-ive, loving hero suits him per fectly, and one is glad to see man who looks manly idav the part of so loving aul . tender-hearted a character.

This was qu to true. Robespierre having been tbe first one to make the actors citi zens, BLACK ALL THE RAGE. You would think to look at it that all New York was in mourning; that is to say, if you looked at its frocks. There is a sudden fad for black, and especially for black cloth and camel's-hair; it is becoming, makes the figure look more slender, brings <ut the round line cf the hips that Henner delights in painting, aud gives pleasure becau-e it is quiet and refined-looking to the average man. Men do not like loud things; they do not like the first hat of the season to be worn by a woman who is with them. They don’t like to exp ait the last, special order as walking by their side, and they would much rather that sho had on a pretty, well-fitting black fr.ck and a coquettish little bonnet, than all tho bright colors that ever emanated from the rainbow. Tha average mau hasn’t half the courage of the average woman, for he would no more be the first to wear anew stylo of hat, or to assume a brilliant-bued scarf, than he would dace a jig on tho top of the Madis in Square Garden tower. A PRAYER FOR MRS. PARNELL. I don’t know enough about Irish politics to know exactly where I svould be if I took any interest in them, but it is probable, as I have friends among them, that I should side with the landlords. However, that has nothing whatever to do with what I feel must aucut, and that is, that poor, wretched woman, who is suffering from everything under the skies. I don’t care whetuer she has done wrong or not. I dou’t think that wis asked of a wretched woman nearly two thousand years ago. and yet forgiveness came to her. 1 don’t see how anybody can say anything against her now, and if it l>e true that she is nursing another little life, then I think that every man, whether he was for or against Parnell, ought to raise his hat if she over passes by him. She must have loved him, aud love like charity, will cover a multitude of sins; there isn’t so very much of it here, and we are apt to be a little greedy wi.h that which we have. J wonder how many women are thinking of this one; thinking kindly and geutly? I woudar how many women will remember that this wo maustands alone, aud if she has wronged any human being, she is rnege than suffer ing for it. if siie has made any creature in this world unhappy, she is paying for it ten-fold. So give her a kind tnought. and say a little bit of prayer for her, somebody, for I am sure she needs it. OCR AVERAGE NEEDS. If we all bad what we needed in this world, I wonder what we would get! 1 thiuk the average politician would get left. I think the average actor would get hissed. I think the average woman would get a new coat. 1 think the average man would get a drink. I think the average servant would get a new place. I think rho average car conductor would get kicked. 1 think tbe average old woman who talks scandal would get snubbed. 1 think the street cleaners of New York would get frozen. I thins a well-behaved dog would take the cake. And I will leave it to you to de cide what would te got by Ha 1 ).

An Illiterate Old Fgrty Is He, TTpA Per sons of Wealth Seek the Greasy Feklr and Hater to Hib Blasphemous Ministrations That Eclipse tbeSuper etitlcns of Dark Ages. From th£ Chicago Inter Dccafy These who believe that supowtitlon bas been left far back In tho middle ages enter tain a delusion of very respectable dimen sions. “What, superstition,” such persons will exclaim, “in this era of telegraphs tel ephones, and daily papers! Impossible.” But It is possible all tho same—dot only possible, but an actual, existent fact. Su perstition, in a most abject, degraded, and debased form, flourishes aud grows fat in this very city. In the tear of the Northwestern terra cotta works on Clybourn avenue, there stands a shabby, ouo-st ry, four-roomed frame cottage, whore voodooism in one of ild most painful aud pernicious phases is practiced daily. Outside tbe cotlage is dis played tbe shingle, “Frederick Wi kol, No. 0311 Wrightwood avenue aud Comm TCial sireet, m ar Clybourn avenue, Lake View.” Mr. Winkel is a voodoo doctor iu exten sive practice. The r. (dieted crowd to him every day, and bis bag of shekels is gro ring beautifully large. Ills dupes are not con fined to the poor and ignorant. Persons of wealth drive to ins house in their carriages, and submit to tbe blasphemous ministra tions described further on. A reporter and artist visited the voodoo dost r. They were ushered, via a dirty kitchen, Into the waiting-room by a slat ternly woman in a checked calico dress— tho doctor’s spouse, it was assumed. The waiting-room was tenanted by two persons. One wr.s a beautiful girl of about 22, stylishly habited in black. The other was a middle-aged man of respectable appeara ice and very well dressed. He might have been a prosperous mechanic or business maa. The “ doctor” was ‘'e gaged.” A survey of the apartment showed it to be cheaply furnished. Ci.eap prints in large gilt frames ornamented the walls. These prints were all <>f a Gatholto nature, a likeness of Leo XIII., a copy of the "Adoration of the Magi,” and a very good photograph of St. Alpbonsus Cathol.c church at Lake View, and such iike. A rude altar was erected on a coed of drawers. Two yellow wax candles, with long black wicks and copious gutter*, showing that they bad been recently lighted, stood on either side of a small wooden crucifix. When this much was noted a door opened and the “dootor” enters I. He is a thick set, vulgar, greasy-lookit g man who walks with a waddle a id talks a rocious English. He was habited only in shirt aud trousers. “O, tutti, tutti, tutti. I’m very tired,” he exclaimed, waving bis hands. “Ha, two more,” he edded, as he noticed the new arr.vals. “You want to be cured, too.” The reporter explained that he did not desire to be iu aoy i alter h- aith than be en joyed at that moment he simply wished to talk with tho “dooior.” lie pleaded pressure of business, Tbe ie porter said he could w alt. The ‘ doctor” then whispered to the young lady and she arose and went with him Into the sittiug room, which, as the door opened, it wa seen was a b druom. Loud laughter was heard from ins de. When tbe dior next opened two youug lanes came out, tbe one already seen aud auothei. Ihe reporter remembered tbe magical trick of drawing eggs out ot a bag and grew nervous. Both gnls were laughing immoderately. 111. quite pjewb.e that these misers, bo b of uu quesd ned resp-oletdlUV, hod SL.y Visited the greasy fak r through curt sily.

I prays—l cures everything—l am curing this man for rheumatism,” added the fellow, as be indicated the well-dressed and intelligent looking man already noted. Both then retired to the praying-cam-bed room. When they were looked up fora short time a peculiar noise was heard, like the blowing of a small bellows. It -ns afterward ascertained that in addition to praying the voodoo doctor breathes, or rather blows, upon his dupes. The great etlicacv of the scoundrel is supposed to exist m this hurricane business. When the rhoumatio dupe came out he gave tho “doc or” some monoy end was told to come once a weok. lie had evi dently cautioned tho man of prayer and puffing to be chary of his visitors, f r that wily rogue declined to answer further when questioned. “No, I charge nothing,” he protested in dignantly. “What do you want asking mo things for? I can tel! nothing—l will not toll you of my jiower with the oil might.” As the visitors with Irew they uoticed a yard p icked full of ducks and geese. There could uot have been less than 500 birds. Poor people, many of whom come from lhe West 8 de, pay the voodoo doctor by presents of fowl. While studying tho man ners and customs of tbe feaiherod creation, and wondering if the healer never becomes sick from too much goose, a most pitiable incident was witnessed. A coupe drawn by two horses drew up at the house. Two women were inside. one a beautiful girl of about 17, an invalid. The other was the girl’s mother. A gentleman carried the Invalid in his arms, t aby fash ion, into tbe house. It was learned that the young lady is the daughter of wealthy Polish parents. Bbe visiw tho toodood ctor twice a week. Hhe says sne is getting bet ter. As she was being carried back to the carriage her face bore the appearance of extreme pain. Her case is only a sample one. A stream of visitors, the halt, lauie aud blind, keeps the voodoo doctor almost perpetually out of wind. Women are his principal dupes. There is a great reluctance among the neighbors to speak of tbe fellow, many persons crediting him with occult in fluences. Meautime his geese and dollars multiply.
